Herman Rademaker

Dutch architect/artist Herman Rademaker was raised Roman
Catholic, but as an adult found his way into the anthroposophy of Rudolf
Steiner.

As an architect, he was involved in the first construction
of Eindhoven Technical University and he co-founded the basis of the Academy
for Industrial Design and he built his own organically designed house on anthroposophical principles in Sint Oedenrode (Dutch province of Noord Brabant).

Rademaker’s vision on life and the world is central in all
his work. He tries to always portray this vison: the coherence and unity of all
that exists, the spiritual inner being that carries and makes everything alive.

More recently he has expressed this in poetic texts that he wrote
with his graceful handwriting and which must sound from a great silence to come
into their own, rhythmically trickling into the soul.
